Wondering if any one can help me with this problem…

I have 2 movie clips one which is used to load a picture into frm a xml file and the second which just has an outline in it.

What i’m trying to do is once the first movie clip has loaded the picture in I want the second movie to resize to the same size as the picture so that it makes a border around the image. Then when the next picture is loaded resizes again to match that picture.

i’ve tried assigning movieclip 1’s \_x and \_y values to movie clip 2 but it didn’t work ☹

any ideas?
